Ok, I'm impressed. Compared to some of the TIGed stuff we see here, your welds look like ****, but compared to anything I was ever able to do with a cheap flux welder, they're actually pretty decent.

Yes sir. 90% of the welds here were done with a Norther Tool flux core that had a bad voltage control system for the spool, so wire speed was whtatever it felt like being. Then a few days ago, it finally quit all together and I bought a better Lincoln flux core, and it works great. If you give me a good welder I can make nice welds, I have about 1,600 hours of welding experience.

In this pic, welds on left are old welder, weld on right is new welder.

Joe posted a link to 20,000 different ones, not a specific one that would work though he described one that would work.

I posted links to two specific FETs which would work. One was a chassis-mount style with screw terminals, the other was a through-hole part. Selection between the two is up to the user, based on how you want to wire it.

From what I've read, having a bit of oil in the brass gears isn't going to make much difference. The gears will contact each other on each revolution, there's nothing to be done to stop that.

A gerotor pump would be boss, but I don't know of anyone that makes a scavenge pump one.

There's nothing inherently wrong with gear-type oil pumps. They were used on every single Volkswagen & Porsche engine from the 1930s through the late 1970s (a design noted for its uncanny durability), and were a standard feature of many other OEM designs as well.

Obviously, the need to fully seal the driveshaft of the pump against leakage is absent from engine-driven pumps, but is present in external motor-driven pumps of all designs (including georotor pumps) save for diaphragm pumps.

Georotor pumps are used on modern engines mostly for reasons of cost and packaging size. As they can be fitted coaxially with the crankshaft, they occupy less space, and require less complex machining to produce. These criteria are wholly economic in nature, and have nothing at all to do with either reliability or ease of leak-proofing.

My post there was in reference to the noise of a gear driven oil pump, they are loud as hell. On an engine driven oil pump you wouldn't much notice the noise, especially considering all the other 1930's tech powering the pump.

can you please do a pull in 5th from 2k?
I know it's hard, but surely there's gotta be a road somewhere in your state to do this.
you're making great power, I bet it's a monster, but I care more about the shape of the curve than peak numbers

I know. This isn't a final plot, just a plot for tuning as I go. Thought I'd share. When it's at final boost with this fuel setup, I'll do that. For you.

I've been making short pulls for now because it's stupid loud, waiting on Magnaflow muffler and cat to arrive. And other stuff I ordered.
